67 and lovin my Jeep
By sarahsdawtr on Tuesday, February 27, 2018This is my first Jeep and its my favorite car ever and at my age Ive owned a lot of cars. Its extremely comfortable and a joy to drive with great maneuverability. The gas mileage is terrific on my long out of state trips. The price also makes it a plus. It has the versatility I need from taking the grand kids out for some fun to having my two very large pit bulls to the beach. Theres plenty of cargo space to take along whatever we need. This granny is lovin my Jeep and it helps to make me feel young again.

Economy Jeep
By Walker on Sunday, June 14, 2020The Jeep is the cheapest in the lineup and for its own reasons. However, the Jeep is still a Jeep and acts as such. Goes through Pennsylvania winter's like it's nothing and off roads as you would expect a Jeep to. It's a quiet, smooth ride. It's small and gets good gas mileage but not too small to haul things and since I have the sport package I've made good use of the roof racks. I was on the fence about this SUV, but once I test drove it, I fell in love. It's very well priced for what you get and other people have driven the Jeep and are always surprised with how well it drives and how much I paid for it as they think it should have been much more. All in all, good small SUV, great price.

2020 Trailhawk is a solid SUV
By Dan_957 on Sunday, May 03, 2020Overall the 2020 Renegade Trailhawk is a great compact SUV. The 1.3L I4 turbo matched to the 9 speed auto makes for a great combo and the added active 4x4 w/ select terrain management system, and upgraded suspension, helps create a unique package centered around off road performance. The low end torque is good for towing, climbing, or getting up to speed, and I can even pass thru up to 19 inches of water if need be. This is a comfy ride, and the added bits with uconnect and android auto deliver a fantastic driving experience. As far as quality the finish seems good, a bit heavy on the affordable denoting plastics but such is modern manufacture. I felt the interior build quality was great, no rattles etc., and I loved the cloth seat map print. The transmission is smooth and I like the mapping for holding gears/ maintaining power band - this thing is complex but brilliant IMO. The Value is fair but the options are steeply priced. Theres not much new at this price point that directly compares to the Renegade Trailhawks off road abilities but there are areas for improvement. The stock headlamps for one are rubbish, and Jeeps electronic start/ stop system is silly to have to disengage everytime you start up. Reliability and comfort are great thus far. The 115v rear outlet is super useful and the folding seats equally so. The software is very smooth and intuitive, and full of options. I'm so far very happy with how everything has worked as expected, everytime. The dual climate control is great and alls I can say is that I usually am very comfy when driving. Performance is where it is at for this model and is why you'd buy this. From tow hooks to a 21 to 1 crawl ratio to a nearly nine inch curb height, this was made to get thru it. For a Jeep assembled in Italy with a motor made in Poland and US built transmission this is a very well designed little SUV. Just check youtube if you've any doubt. Because of its design its going to handle more like a truck than a nimble car, turn radius isn't petit, but thats a tradeoff for better performance elsewhere. It may not be the best at everything but it sure is great at getting thru obstacles that would strand others.

I need to reconcile these 2 facts:
- 1. I don't feel comfortable working on Linux;
- 2. I need to develop software for Linux.
Some background: I have 10+ years of programming experience on Windows (almost exclusively C/C++, but some .NET as well), I was a user of FreeBSD at home for about 3 years or so (then had to go back to Windows), and I've never had much luck with Linux. And now I have to develop software for Linux. I need a plan.
On Windows, you can get away with just knowing a programming language, an API you're coding against, your IDE (VisualStudio) and some very basic tools for troubleshooting (Depends, ProcessExplorer, DebugView, WinDbg). Everything else comes naturally.
On Linux, it's a very different story. How the hell would I know what DLL (sorry, Shared Object) would load, if I link to it from Firefox plugin? What's the Linux equivalent of inserting __asm int 3/DebugBreak() in the source and running the program, and then letting the OS call a debugger? Why do release builds use something, called appLoader, while debug builds work somehow different? Worst of all: How to provision Linux development environment?
So, taking into account that my hatred might be associated with not knowing enough, what would you recommend? I'm ok with Emacs and GCC. I need to educate myself as a Linux admin/user, and I need to learn proper troubleshooting tools (strace is cool, btw), equivalents to the ones I mentioned above.
Do I need to do Linux From Scratch? Or do I need to just read some books? (I've read UNIX programming enviornment by Kernighan and Advanced Programming... by Stevens, but I could use something more practical.) Or do I need to have some Linux distro on my home computer?
Answer: Lots to Read... (34 Votes)
You might find the article Dynamic Linking in Linux and Windows interesting (it explains how each OS does dynamic linking). The article Shared Library Search Paths explains how the libraries are found. Also Static, Shared Dynamic and Loadable Linux Libraries is very good. A nice thing about Linux libraries is that they have better support for versioning and more versions of a library than Windows (AFAIK, I don't do Windows). See Library Interface Versioning in Solaris and Linux for that. These articles should really get you covered with libraries.
The GDB is very mighty, and a good introduction is probably RMS's gdb Tutorial. You might want to read up on conditional breakpoints. For equivalents to __asm(int 3) see the Stack Overflow question Set breakpoint in C or C++ code programmatically for gdb on Linux.
The book Advanced Unix Programming by Marc Rochkind is a must-read, IMHO. It offers lots of examples and covers all POSIX/SUS topics in a very well-explained way. It's the best book about this topic I've read so far.
But to make your life easier I actually recommend you use a highlevel API that abstracts stuff for you, like Qt. It will also make writing cross-platform a lot easier.
Doing Linux From Scratch helps you get an understanding of how a Linux system is composed, but I think it doesn't much improve your knowledge about it from a developer's point of view. It does, however, make you more comfortable with Linux, as you learn what parts are there in a Linux environment (and also why). A Linux won't be a big blackbox to you after working through Linux From Scratch.
Answer: If you like strace... (9 Votes)
Don't forget ltrace: the equivalent for library calls.
Also, yes, I recommend Linux From Scratch. It's a good exercise in working out the core elements of the OS and how they fit together.
For a modern, complete system programming reference treatment, I'd recommend picking up The Linux Programming Interface.
Answer: Use Your Experience (7 Votes)
Why not develop on Mono with Monodevelop? This would get you started quite easily by re-using your experience in .NET.
Answer: A Shortcut (3 Votes)
Do not force yourself to do something you do not like. Use Windows as your development environment, write a portable code, cross-compile it for Linux, and only test it occasionally in a VM.
Answer: Steb-By-Step (5 Votes)
It's daunting when you look at it from the outset (just like if you were a Linux developer being tasked with doing some Windows development). I would tackle this one problem at a time.
1) First, get your environment setup (compiler, IDE—yes they exist, Netbeans/Eclipse etc.)
2) Next, get the higher level APIs installed (boost/Qt etc.)
3) Start slowly. If there is an immediate problem to solve, get the code compiling (or start writing from scratch). Like you would tackle any development project, get the stuff you know working first (i.e. things that don't need OS specific interaction), and then when you hit a snag—search. I'm sure someone out there has come across the same problem before and resolved it.
Most importantly, leave all your preconceived notions at the door. And no, you don't need to be a guru to develop in Linux, I know enough to get around, but not everything—and I'm comfortable with that...
Answer: An Ode to Linux (6 Votes)
The Mac OS X is like a Mercedes; it's the prettiest and cleanest but it costs a lot. Windows is like a Toyota; it will get you there and back.
Linux is like a hot rod; It's for people to dig into and take apart and put back together again. Linux is not for someone who just wants to use the computer; it's for people who love computers. People who don't love computers should stay away from it.
The stuff you learned in Windows won't translate very well, no. But you get to see the internals and watch the engine run.
Try to take Linux as a new toy, that you can play with and crawl into and see what's going on. Things that are easy in Windows are harder in Linux; things that are impossible in Windows are possible in Linux.
If you love computers you can love Linux; if you don't love computers why are you programming at all?
Think you know the best way to go from Windows to Linux? Disagree with the opinions expressed above?

Use direct deposit to get faster return
If you are expecting an income tax refund, you can count on getting it more quickly if you have authorized direct deposit into your bank account.
Millions of people choose this option annually. For those who have opted for direct deposit for federal income tax refunds, that will also be the method of payment for this year's economic stimulus payments.
There's also the issue of security. A check can get lost in the mail. Every year, thousands of refund checks end up being returned to the IRS as undelivered mail. In addition, it helps guard against having the tax refund checks stolen.
The direct deposit method is also a lot easier to manage. You don't have to waste time and energy going to the bank to deposit the check.
The turnaround time for refunds is even quicker for taxpayers who file their income tax returns electronically.

What to Watch: Lil Wayne says he's 'more than good'
Trending topic
Less than a week after TMZ reported that Lil Wayne had last rites performed, the rapper released a video that seems to debunk rumors he's dying, Yahoo News reports. Lil Wayne, who appears to be in a hotel instead of a hospital, thanks fans for their prayers and concerns, and is joined by fellow artist T.I. halfway through the video. Lil Wayne is expected to go on tour with several other artists this summer, and he and T.I. seem to tease in the video that the tour will start July 5. Lil Wayne ends the video with more thanks to his fans, saying "I'm more than good. But thank you for real. Thank you to all ya'll out there for your prayers. I'm more than good. I swear to God, thank you."

Rice throws in the towel
I hold no particular brief for Susan Rice. I think John McCain and Lindsey Graham's pillorying of her over the Benghazi was so obnoxious and over-the-top that I'm sure Obama was tempted to nominate her for secretary of state just to spite them.
But a Dana Milbank column I recently ran stuck with me. He didn't care about the Benghazi kerfuffle either, but he described Rice as a most undiplomatic diplomat, who flipped off Richard Holbrooke in a State Dept. meeting, undermined Hillary Clinton and basically doesn't play well with others:
Even in a town that rewards sharp elbows and brusque personalities, Rice has managed to make an impressive array of enemies – on Capitol Hill, in Foggy Bottom and abroad. Particularly in comparison to the other person often mentioned for the job, Sen. John Kerry, she can be a most undiplomatic diplomat, and there likely aren't enough Republican or Democratic votes in the Senate to confirm her.
I'd rather have John Kerry as senior senator from Massachusetts than as secretary of defense, but if Obama wants him at State, and that's his long-time dream, I guess I can live with another special election, even if it means the return of Scott Brown.

Tim Cronin: Big Ten used to stand for something other than money
Jim Delany, the commissioner of the Big Ten, would like you to believe the conference's new cable television network is something no fan should be without.
Delany and those in charge at the Big Ten Network would also like you to believe that the channel, set to debut Aug. 30, is the league's gift to its alumni.
Don't believe it.
This is a money grab.
This is a way to make college sports, which long ago rescinded any rightful title to the concept of amateurism, that much more commercial and professional. For the conference, via its new commercial television arm, to get its hand in your pocket and keep it there.
The touted virtues of the 24-hour channel include everything from live football and men's basketball games to the full panoply of lesser sports, to which only fellow classmates and the parents of athletes pay attention, along with a nightly recap of conference news and, eventually, educational programs from all 11 Big Ten schools. (Perhaps one will be on the New Math.)
What neither Delany nor network brass mention is this: The package of syndicated football games that usually ran at 11 a.m. Saturday on Channel 2? Gone. The package of syndicated basketball games that channels 26 and 56 carried? Gone.
Those games are off free television, moving to the Big Ten Network. For a price yet to be determined.
The price the Big Ten wants from cable systems in Big Ten states is $1.10 per subscriber per month. Every month, even in June, July and August, when school is out. (Outside the area, the outlet will accept 10 cents a month per subscriber.)
The league also wants the network to be carried on basic expanded cable, the same spot where ESPN, CNN and The Weather Channel reside, all the better to haul in the dough from subscribers and higher commercial rates.
For the most part, cable bosses in the Midwest have said "no" to the price and "no" to that spot on the dial.
While some small outlets have signed on, the big ones, including Comcast, RCN and Wide Open West, which account for the majority of cable accounts in the Chicago area, are holding off. So is Time Warner, a powerhouse elsewhere.
Cable executives generally want to pay less and put the channel on a digital tier, where specialty channels such as Speed Channel, CSTV and the Tennis Channel are placed.
Negotiating such as this goes on in business all the time, and usually, things get settled. Comcast, for instance, has had Channel 33 open since Fox Sports Net Chicago signed off. Given that Fox Sports Net is the 49 percent owner of the Big Ten Network (the league owns a 51 percent controlling interest), Channel 33 would be a logical place for it to land.
However, the Big Ten has been so ham-handed in its pronouncements, starting with Delany, whose strong-arm tactics behind the scenes are legendary, the league is getting nowhere in talks with the major cable players.
Earlier in the summer, Delany flew off the handle, insisting the prospect of watching Iowa's women's volleyball team was an example of first-class programming. That was in response to a classification of the team as "third rate" Delany said had been printed in The New York Times. It hadn't been. A Comcast fact sheet noted, correctly, that "fans of teams in other cities don't want to pay to watch the University of Iowa's volleyball games."
There was no mention of third-rate, but that didn't stop Delany from blasting the notion that everything about the Big Ten isn't of compelling interest.
Fine. He can defend his conference. But he can't defend the reality that games are being taken off free TV and put on a cable network that is overpriced, perhaps at any price.
Delany notes that Versus and The Golf Channel are on expanded basic on Comcast because the cable firm owns the channels. His channel has a similar advantage with DirecTV placing the Big Ten Network on its basic package, "Total Choice," available to 16 million homes. Fox Sports Net and DirecTV are both owned by News Corp.
The channel's PR staff has recently been e-mailing news releases to reporters insisting that the network should be on expanded basic, as if it's a birthright for Midwesterners.
"Big Ten sports are often a touchstone for the citizens of our states," went part of a recent communiqué. "If you live in one of the eight states and receive 50 to 60 channels as part of your expanded basic package, the Big Ten Network should be one of them."
Hardly. This isn't a channel vital to every viewer. This is sports, not a tornado warning. This is second- and third- and fourth-choice football games (after ABC, plus ESPN and/or ESPN2, depending on the week), such as Illinois-Northwestern, Minnesota-Iowa and, on the opening weekend, Appalachian State-Michigan.
The men's basketball package might be worthwhile, but how many great regular-season games from last season stick in the mind? One? None? As for everything else, well, it's not as if ABC and CBS have been clamoring to televise baseball and field hockey.
This is a niche network, no matter how much Delany bleats otherwise, right there with NBA TV and the NFL Network. Both of which, incidentally, are on tiers. If the NFL can't get on expanded basic, why should the Big Ten Network be so fortunate?
Last week, Delany said the league would look into expansion to 12 teams, which would allow a conference title game, partly because that would make the network more attractive.
Once upon a time, the Big Ten stood for something other than money and a television package. The way things are going, that era will soon be a distant memory.

Bitcoin may have become a thing of fascination for the media very recently, but the digital currency actually celebrated its fifth birthday this month as its value hovered at around $1,000 per coin. Bitcoin was never intended to be the one cryptocurrency to rule them all, because anyone can make their own version of it. The code which underpins the currency is released under what's known as an open-source license. Anyone can use it themselves, and alter any aspect they want, in order to create a whole new currency. A whole class of alternative crypto-currencies, based on the fundamental aspects of bitcoin, have been created over the past couple of years. The first and biggest of the 'altcoins', called Litecoin, was created in 2011 to address some perceived flaws in the Bitcoin protocol. Litecoin is much harder to build specialized 'mining' machines for, which, according to its founders, prevents it from being dominated by a few rich miners. Additionally, it clears payments faster and has a much higher cap of 84 million coins. Since November 2011, Litecoin has tracked the value of Bitcoin fairly closely, but in December last year it spiked in value. Overnight, a Litecoin was worth 10 times what it had been before, and its total market cap now stands at $623 million, around 16 percent of that of its parent.
Wow, very cryptocurrency
Measuring press attention alone, Litecoin is surely eclipsed by another altcoin with a far more compelling hook: Dogecoin. Whereas Litecoin requires an already deep understanding of cryptocurrencies to explain the ways in which it improves on Bitcoin, Dogecoin has simpler selling point: it's got a picture of a Shiba Inu dog on the front. Read with a straight face, it's a triumph of marketing. Take a field which anyone can enter, and where the average user has little or no way to distinguish between competing examples; and then whack the most popular meme of 2013, Doge, on the front of your own. (Doge, for those of you still unaware, is
a meme involving pictures of a confused-looking Shiba Inu
with brightly colored comic sans text surrounding it, spelling out in idiosyncratic broken English the animal's thoughts. Wow. Very internet. Such bafflement.) Except, of course, reading it with a straight face is not the point: Dogecoin was created as a joke, to appeal to the sort of person who would find it funny. And it worked – the total value of all Dogecoins in circulation is now worth almost $7 million, making it the 16th most valuable alt coin in existence. If it seemed like Dogecoin was the pinnacle of the altcoin madness –
, which only tracks the ones people have actually bothered to buy and sell on exchanges, already records almost 70 – then the news from Thursday that a few coders were preparing to launch a currency based on Kanye West called, naturally, [Coinye West], proves that the idea still has legs.
How to make your own vanity money
So obviously I wanted a piece of the action. It was time to launch Herncoin. It turns out, though, that cloning bitcoin is actually harder than it looks. Although the code behind the currency is open source, it's not like the designers have just left a nice file where you can change a few lines of code to end up with a whole new currency. It actually takes some serious programming ability to get started: Dogecoin's technical co-founder, a software engineer from Portland, had to put in
a couple of days of solid work to get the currency off the ground
. Without a solid backing in C programming in the C language, I had no hope of creating Herncoin myself. Thankfully, Matt Corallo, a veteran bitcoin developer, came to the rescue. On Friday, he opened the doors to
, offering to create a forked version of Bitcoin for anyone with 0.01 BTC (around $10) to spare. With Corallo's tools, the job becomes the work of minutes.
I couldn't resist. A few seconds in an image editor to whip up a logo and
: Following the theme of vanity, I set the initial parameters of the coin to a series of numbers based on my name. So, for instance, the first few blocks 'mined' will give 112,524 coins to the computer that mines them – that's Alex spelled out in numbers, with 1 for A, 12 for L, and so on – and other characteristics done the same way. Once the payment had processed, I was delivered the necessary tools to run my Herncoin.
Democracy and currency
It's all silly, obviously, but there's an important point behind the proliferation of altcoins. To bitcoin advocates, they represent the democratic underpinning of the currency – a democracy far fairer than the unaccountable central banks which run real-world currencies. 'Bitcoin enforces majority consensus,' says Mike Hearn, a developer of the currency. 'By taking part in the economy and running the software, or by choosing which alt coins you accept, you are effectively voting on how the currency should work… We'd like Bitcoin to be perfect, of course. If lots of people started switching to an alt coin, there'd be pressure to upgrade Bitcoin to match the alt's advantages. 'We must remember that our existing currencies are controlled entirely by private banks,' he adds. 'The central bank in most countries is not a democratic institution or even a government controlled one – indeed that's the whole point of them. The Bank of England was given independence precisely because politicians knew they could not be trusted with the power to print money.' In this view of the world, the existence of Litecoin acts as a competitor to bitcoin, allowing uses to vote with their wallets in a very literal sense: if they would rather have Litecoin's benefits, they can start taking that currency, and if too many people switch, bitcoin will be forced to make concessions. It's as though, if you thought the interest rate was too low in the UK, you could start using yen instead. Herncoin doesn't offer any of such improvements. Instead, it's mostly focused around my face and my name. As a result, it seems to be having trouble taking off. I've been mining Herncoins on and off for a couple of days and, other than making my laptop really, really hot (we're talking 'if I didn't quite like this laptop I would fry an egg on it for the photo opportunity' hot), not a huge amount has happened. Well, I've accrued a wealth of several million Herncoins, but not much else. No one else has connected to my network, which means my money may as well exist as a text file on my computer reading 'Alex Hern is really quite wealthy'. But it's an alternative of sorts. The question for bitcoin is whether the ability to make alternatives like Litecoin (and Herncoin) lessens the responsibility on those who control the currency to take a pro-active stance in managing the bitcoin economy, like that which we require of central bankers. If the Bank of England releases data showing the quantitative easing isn't working to boost the economy, we wouldn't accept Mark Carney telling us that we're free to move to France if we don't like his style. The sci-fi author Charlie Stross, in a piece titled '
Why I want Bitcoin to die in a fire
', argues that: 'Bitcoin looks like it was designed as a weapon intended to damage central banking and money issuing banks, with a Libertarian political agenda in mind.' The economist Paul Krugman approvingly cited Stross's conclusion in his own piece headlined '
'. For Hearn, the inability of bitcoin to respond to economic events the way managed currencies do is an unambigious positive. The bitcoin model, he says, 'is not only more democratic but more robust. Although central banks are undemocratic and unaccountable, they are nonetheless run by people who can be put under lots of pressure. We saw this in recent years with the euro… Politicians made a lot of very public noise about how Mario Draghi was personally responsible for destroying the euro, and he eventually folded. 'So we currently have the worst of all worlds.' I'm not so sure. After three days of running my own currency, I'm fairly certain that a world based on Herncoin would be significantly worse.

You are probably in the middle of what could be a sudden short term financial crisis, with almost no ideas of where to get the money you need to close business deals, or pay education bills you have not prepared for. Truth is, in Guttenberg of New Jersey NJ, there are several people living like that: from pay check to paycheck, without much room to deal with life's sudden requests for money.

Israel pushes in Gaza, expanding ground operation
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli troops pushed deeper into Gaza yesterday in a ground offensive that officials said could last as long as two weeks as the prime minister ordered the military to prepare for a "significantly" wider campaign.
The assault raised risks of a bloodier conflict amid escalating Palestinian civilian casualties and the first Israeli military death — and brought questions of how far Israel will go to cripple Gaza's Hamas rulers.
Officially, the goal remains to destroy a network of tunnels militants use to infiltrate Israel and attack civilians. In its first day on the ground in Gaza, the military said it took up positions beyond the border, encountered little resistance from Hamas fighters and made steady progress in destroying the tunnels. Military officials said the quick work means that within a day or two, Israeli leaders might already have to decide whether to expand the operation.
With calls from Israeli hard-liners to completely crush Hamas, it remains unclear how far Israel will go in an operation that has already seen 299 Palestinians killed in 11 days of intense Israeli bombardment of the densely populated coastal strip, a fifth of them children.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had ordered the military to prepare for a "significant expansion" of the ground offensive.
"It is not possible to deal with tunnels only from the air. It needs to be done also from the ground," he told a special Cabinet meeting in Tel Aviv. "We chose to begin this operation after the other options were exhausted and with the understanding that without the operation, the price we will pay can be very high."
Frustrated by Hamas' refusal to accept an Egyptian-brokered truce agreement and the failure of a 10-day campaign of more than 2,000 airstrikes to halt relentless rocket fire on Israeli cities, Israel launched a ground offensive it had previously been reticent to undertake to further weaken Hamas militarily.
"It won't end that quickly," said Yitzhak Aharonovitch, Israel's minister of public security. "Anything can happen. If we need to keep going, we will keep going. We won't stop. We need quiet for the citizens of the south and the citizens of Israel."
In a fresh effort to broker a truce, U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon was to leave today for the Middle East to help mediate the Gaza conflict, U.N. officials said. A cease-fire is "indispensable" for urgently needed humanitarian efforts to succeed, the under-secretary-general for political affairs, Jeffrey Feltman, told an emergency meeting of the Security Council.
The Israeli military said it had killed nearly 20 militants in exchanges of fire since the ground offensive started on Thursday night.
Gaza health officials said more than 50 Palestinians have been killed since then, including three young siblings from the Abu Musallam family who were killed when a tank shell hit their home.
At the morgue, 11-year-old Ahmed's face was blackened by soot, and he and his 14-year-old sister, Walaa, and 16-year-old brother, Mohammed, were wrapped in white burial shrouds. Their father, Ismail, said the three were sleeping when the shell struck and he had to dig them out from under the rubble.
Israel says it is going to great lengths to avoid civilian casualties and blames them on Hamas, accusing it of firing from within residential neighborhoods and using its civilians as "human shields." On Thursday, the U.N. refugee agency for Palestinians, UNRWA, said a routine check in one of its vacant Gaza schools found about 20 hidden rockets and called on militants to respect the "sanctity and integrity" of U.N. property.
Critics say it is the intense fire itself in such a densely populated area that leads to the deaths of innocent civilians. The U.N. children's agency, UNICEF, said at least 59 — or one in five — of the Palestinians killed children were under the age of 18. UNRWA said 40,000 Palestinians were seeking refuge in 34 of its shelters throughout the Gaza Strip.
Most countries have expressed support for Israel's right to defend itself, while urging it to minimize civilian deaths in its ground assault. President Barack Obama spoke with Netanyahu yesterday and expressed his concern "about the risks of further escalation and the loss of more innocent life."
The operation also brought Israel its first military casualty. The circumstances behind the death of Staff Sgt. Eitan Barak, 20, were not made clear: Hamas's military wing said it ambushed Israeli units in the northern town of Beit Lahiya. A military spokesman said Barak was likely killed by friendly fire from a tank but it was not confirmed yet.
The army said a number of soldiers were also wounded. Earlier in the week, an Israeli civilian died from Palestinian mortar fire and several others have been wounded.
"The ground offensive does not scare us and we pledge to drown the occupation army in Gaza mud," Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said in a statement.
Israeli public opinion strongly supports the offensive after days of unrelenting rocket fire from Gaza and years of southern Israeli residents living under the threat. Gaza militants have fired more than 1,500 rockets at Israel during the past 11 days, and rocket fire continued across Israel yesterday.
The order to launch the ground operation was triggered not by the rocket fire, but by a Hamas attempt to infiltrate Israel on Thursday, when 13 armed militants sneaked through a tunnel from Gaza and were killed by an airstrike as they emerged inside Israel.
The military, which has already mobilized more than 50,000 reservists, said paratroopers had uncovered eight tunnel access points across the Gaza Strip and engaged in several gun battles with Hamas militants who ambushed them.

Barbara Walters expects to leave hospital soon; Joy Behar tells her to lay off vodka
Barbara Walters says she expects to be home from the hospital soon after taking a spill at a Saturday night party at the British ambassador's home in Washington.
The veteran ABC newswoman thanked people who expressed concern in a statement read Monday on "The View."
She says she's running a low-grade fever and doctors don't want to release her until her temperature is normal. She says things are going in the right direction and she expects to be home soon.
Her colleagues at "The View" wished her well on the air, although comic Joy Behar couldn't resist a joke.
Behar urged Walters to get well and to "lay off the Grey Goose" vodka.

Offwidth Hombre
A series of number-three Big Bros spanned the crack below Marin, and the crack was so steep he couldn't wedge his body into it. If I blow it, he thought, and they all blow out, I'm dead.
A series of number-three Big Bros spanned the crack below Marin, and the crack was so steep he couldn't wedge his body into it. If I blow it, he thought, and they all blow out, I'm dead. He cursed in English and Spanish as he struggled up the overhanging offwidth on North Six Shooter tower, Utah.
Liquid Sky's "old-school 5.11+" offwidth had been Marin's goal since he'd moved to Colorado from Ibague, Colombia, and he'd been training for five years, throwing himself on all the wide cracks he could find in Indian Creek. With only a handful of ascents since Chip Chace and Jeff Achey's FA in 1985, Liquid Sky is both legend and nightmare in desert-climbing lore.
"It's old school in the sense you have to get in there and go for it," Chace remembers. "It wasn't at all fun."
After the offwidth, Marin reached the bolt before the roof, and clipped. For the moment, he was safe. Then he looked into the gaping maw above, a no-pro squeeze chimney through a huge roof. Gaining courage, he wormed into the bowels of the tower—and got stuck for an hour and a half.
"My breathing was super shallow," he says. "I was freaking out."
Finally, he began pushing upward using controlled breathing, head facing down toward the talus. Feet first, he inched deeper into the tower at a 45-degree angle. Exhale, move, inhale, rest. "I used really weird techniques. My hips were doing all the work. I even tried to do a cartwheel."
Marin followed a slightly wider passage through the rock until he reached the lip of the roof. Exiting the chimney, he pulled another difficult move before he got gear, and then finished up the final "casual 5.10 runout chimney." On top, he was psyched he'd survived, but bummed to have fallen on the first pitch-—a straightforward 5.11.
After that first try on Liquid Sky, Marin's hips were so sore he could hardly walk for two weeks. "Now I know why people don't climb offwidths that much," he says, smiling. "My second try went better, but I fell somewhere I shouldn't have again, this time on the second pitch, below the offwidth." He left the Creek for guiding work and ice season in Ouray, Colorado, determined to return.
Like others in Indian Creek, Marin throws himself on 5.11+ finger cracks. But how many typical Creek climbers run up the cavernous 5.12 offwidth roof on Brother From Another Planet five times in one day? Other offwidth ticks include Get a Life (5.12b/c) and Taming of the Shrew (5.12c/d) in Colorado National Monument, Monster Truck (5.12a/b) in Indian Creek, and Crack Whore (5.12c) in Canyonlands.
Marin splits his time between Ouray and Ashton, Washington, guiding in the San Juans and Cascades. Recently he became the first Colombian and the youngest South American to complete his rock certification through the International Federation of Mountain Guides (IFMGA).
"I'm doing my IFMGA because I want to bring knowledge to Colombia for the guides," he says. "I'd like to standardize guiding there and make it safer."
With scruffy brown curls and an animated demeanor, Marin is the image of many a young, soul-searching desert climber, tooling around in a VW bus, a purple and green woven anklet dangling above dusty flip flops. In his serious moments, though, he is quiet and thoughtful beyond his 24 years. We interviewed him at the Creek the evening after his second go on North Six.
Because you're stacking, you only have two appendages, so you have to be creative to get up them.
I grew up in this little town in Colombia with a huge volcano, so I started climbing. We used army uniforms, and for gaiters we used trash bags.
When I moved to Bogota, I climbed in Suesca, a place similar to Eldorado. It has conglomerate sandstone, very polished, with trad and sport. Suesca is a beautiful, peaceful place, and is one of the best rock-climbing places in South America. Gear is so expensive in Colombia, so climbers use very little and routes are usually pretty heads up.
My mom moved here nine years ago when she met a cool dude from Romania who lived in Grand Junction. That's "mi dad," my stepdad. I came five years ago. Before, I was in Colombia studying for sound engineering and percussion in college, but then the situation there got weird.
In the '90s and early 2000s, Colombia was going through big changes politically and economically, as the violence from drug cartels ended. Access to the mountains was restricted, and wages were low. I was working in a climbing gym 10 hours a day for seven bucks.
Now, the guerrillas [the National Liberation Army and Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces] are in the mountains, so climbers still have to know where it is safe to go.
Once when we were working as guides in Tolima, the guerrillas were using anti-personnel mines, and we had to be evacuated from the mountain because of a war between them and the Special Forces. They never shoot the Red Cross, though, so if you evac you're safe.
To tell the truth, I don't want to talk about the bad things Colombia has been in the past. I'd rather talk about the good things of my country.
The food is great, with all types of fruit you can imagine. The climbing is awesome, with really good alpine and rock routes. The soccer games at the beach, the Caribbean music. The coolest part is even though people are poor, they live happily and thankfully with what they have.

Bravettes rout Newark, stroll into Sweet 16
Once the Annawan Bravettes settled into their surroundings Monday night at Illinois Valley Community College, it was game over.
The Bravettes fell in an early 8-4 hole, but rebounded to pummel once-beaten Newark 46-21 in the semifinals of the Class 1A IVCC Sectional.
"I knew that we would be sped up a little bit early and that we'd have to settle down," said Annawan coach Jason Burkiewicz.
The four-point deficit didn't last long as Celina VanHyfte scored six straight points to put the Bravettes on top 10-8, and Annawan's pressure defense started taking its toll on Newark.
Annawan led 12-8 at the quarter and continued its roll in the second frame. The Bravettes tallied 13 unanswered points to stretch the margin to 25-8 and complete a run of 21 straight points.
Newark managed just two points in the second quarter and struggled through a scoring drought of more than nine minutes as the Bravettes led 29-10 at the break.
"Not everyone can play a 1-3-1. They have the personnel to make it work," said Newark coach Dale Skelton. "When you don't play against it (1-3-1) on a consistent basis, you can't simulate it. You need to play against it to understand it."
"We count on that," said Burkiewicz of his team's defense. "It seems like all of our big games this year we've come up with a quarter where we keep a team to less than five points. Even though we weren't knocking down the shots we would've liked, we were able to suffocate them and create some breathing room for us."
VanHyfte scored 16 points in the opening half, while Annawan's defense forced 15 Newark turnovers.
The Bravettes stretched the lead to 40-16 after three quarters and cruised home for the win. VanHyfte finished with 18 points and 12 rebounds, and Megan Foes added 12 points.
Newark's night ended with 28 turnovers and just seven buckets on 26 attempts.
The win sends the Bravettes (27-2) into Thursday night's sectional title game against Hinckley-Big Rock. The Lady Royals defeated Putnam County 42-30 in Monday's first semifinal.
Sectional title tickets on sale
Advance tickets for Thursday night's sectional championship game at the Class 1A Illinois Valley Sectional are on sale today and game day at the Annawan High School office.
Tickets are $5 each and can be purchased from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Boss Creations, a new holiday décor company, has introduced the new "CHRIST-mas" Tree™, featuring the unique trait of a trunk in the shape of a wooden cross. Company owner Marsha Boggs says the tree was specifically designed to counter the "war on Christmas," reports Boss Creations in its press release.
"When I became a Christian a few years ago," says Boggs, "I was appalled by the secularization of the Christmas holiday. When retail stores started substituting 'Happy Holidays' for 'Merry Christmas,' and schools began calling their Christmas programs 'Winter Plays,' it all seemed ridiculous to me. That's why we have created products that remind people what the Christmas season is really all about – the birth of Christ."
The "CHRIST-mas" Tree™ is size adjustable up to 7.5 foot tall to accommodate various ceiling sizes. Additionally, the company offers ornaments, wreaths and gift items all with Christian-based themes.
Legal fights over Christmas symbolism continue to create headlines such as a recent ban on religious songs in a New Jersey school district where the federal appeal judges noted "such songs were once common in public schools, but times have changed." Lawsuits regarding Christmas trees being taken down from public buildings have sparked anger across the country. Boggs says Boss Creations' mission is to uphold the traditional meaning of the Christmas season, and from their sales, the company will be supporting two non-profit organizations that work as advocates for religious freedom.
A portion of the proceeds of all "CHRIST-mas" Tree™ sales will go to support the American Center of Law & Justice, an organization recently hailed by BusinessWeek as "the leading advocacy group for religious freedom," as well as to the Liberty Counsel, a nonprofit litigation, education and policy organization dedicated to advancing religious freedom, the sanctity of human life and the traditional family.

Maybe the golfer in bunny ears on the cover should have been the tip-off
Title: Lost in the Garden: A Novel (Plume, 240 pp, $14, paperback), by Philip Beard.
What it is: A comic novel about a 45-year-old lawyer who, after his wife kicks him out of their home in suburban Pittsburgh, tries to cope with what he calls his "midlife crisis" by playing golf.
How much I read: The prologue, the first chapter and some later passages, about 30 pages.
Why I stopped reading: Beard starts pushing his luck with his first line: "If you choose books the way I do, you still have a chance to save yourself a few bucks." He adds: "This is not a book that is meant to be bought; it's only a book that needed to be written." This sort of self-consciously ironic pose makes a critic say very quickly, "Okay, if it's not meant to be bought, I won't tell people to buy it." Especially when the cliché "midlife crisis" also appears in the first few pages. A Publishers Weekly reviewer who finished the book said, "After a promising start, Beard doesn't provide enough plot to keep the reader from losing patience with Beard's self-absorbed mid-lifer and his games (sporting and otherwise)." That may be true, but comic novels don't need a lot of plot if they're funny enough to make you want to keep reading, regardless.
Best line in what I read: A quote from the novelist Peter De Vries: "Confession is good for the soul only in the sense that a tweed coat is good for dandruff – it is a palliative rather than a remedy."
Worst line in what I read: Beard writes of the members of a golf club: "The women (who only just attained full membership status in 1998, following a battle that rivaled the one for women's suffrage in both acrimony and expense) …" The labored humor of the line is typical of what I read.
Consider reading instead: Nick Hornby's How to Be Good, a much funnier treatment of the crisis that occurs in the life of a father of two when his wife says he wants a divorce ("Nick Hornby Looks at a Marriage in Trouble in His Comic Novel How to Be Good") www.oneminutebookreviews.wordpress.com/2007/09/11/.
Published: May 2007 (Plume paperback), May 2006 (Viking hardcover) http://us.penguingroup.com/nf/Book/BookDisplay/0,,9780452288423,00.html
Caveat lector: On the book cover shown here, the man is wearing yellow bunny ears. These may not show up on your computer screen.
Furthermore: Beard also wrote the novel Dear Zoe, which he self-published, then sold to Viking. He has a great story on his site about the experience www.philipbeard.net/backstory.html. He is a writer and lawyer in Pittsburgh.

In Savannah, Georgia, one of the busiest ports on the Atlantic for container vessels, government officials are attempting to deepen the waterway connecting the port to the Atlantic. There is a significant obstacle to their plan, the remains of the CSS Georgia, an armored gunboat that was scuttled by Confederate forces to avoid capture by William Tecumseh Sherman's Union army when he captured the city in December 1864. Currently, the vessel is on the National Register of Historic Places and dredging is prohibited within fifty feet of the wreckage.
In order to allow for the port expansion, the Army Corps of Engineers is going to raise and salvage the remains of the Georgia. Currently, two large pieces of the armor, as well as cannons, parts of the engines, and a propeller. The Corps notes that caution will be in order, as munitions are present and may still be active. The wreckage is important, as the war was the beginning of the age of iron-hulled vessels and was a fine example of what the South could do, despite a lack of industrial base. It will also represent what went wrong for the Confederacy during the late war.
This will be a wonderful opportunity for preserving another part of Civil War history, as only a few other naval vessels from the period have been preserved, including the USS Cairo, which sank in the Yazoo River in Mississippi, soon before the Vicksburg Campaign, which I have visited a couple time and is well worth seeing.

It snowed overnight, after most of the snow and ice on the ground had just about melted away…
Oyfn pripetchik brent a fayerl
Un in shtub is heys.
Un der rebbe lernt kleyne kinderlekh
Dem alef-beys.
A fire is burning in the fireplace
and its warm in the house,
as the Rabbi is teaching little children
the aleph-beys.
It's cold and Shabbos is coming and as we recharge our batteries from the week's harsh realities, or we contemplate on the week's successes, there is that special Shabbos food to warm us, to comfort us. Cholent, kugel (whether potato or lokshen – noodles) and more.
As we sing Shabbos zmiros, as we tell over divrey Torah there is a warmth that permeates the heart's own hearth – the tiny inner pripetchik where the pintele yid is always burning, always reminding one who and what he or she is. Regardless of the weather outside, whether cold, freezing, warm or hot, the heart's temperature is perfect, as the mind feels uplifted by the niggunim, by the words of ancient wisdom, by the stories that touch one's soul and the body enjoys those special flavors of the Shabbos food (the same food, prepared the exact same way, just tastes so different during the week).
[..]Gliklekh iz der yid vos lernt toyre,
Vos darfn mir nokh mer?
Happy is the Jew who learns Torah
What more do we need?
(Oyfn Pripetchik – Old Yiddish song)
Talking about the special taste of Shabbos food, I came across this easy recipe, on The Food Network, by Joan Nathan, it is different and very good:
Vegetable and Fruit Kugel Cupcakes
- 2 apples, grated
- 1 large sweet potato, grated
- 4 carrots, grated
- 1 cup matzoh meal
- 1 stick pareve margarine, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 24 paper muffin cups
- 2 (12) cavity muffin tins
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients.
- Place the paper muffin cups in the muffin tins.
- Pour the batter into the cups. They should be two-thirds full.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until done in a preheated 350 degree oven.
A gutten Shabbos – Shabbat shalom umevorach, gentle reader.
